Express Sport takes a look at who could be on Manchester United's shopping list this summer

"He’s played for three seasons in our first team and he's just 19-year-old. At some point we have to accept that we cannot change our league. The players love our club but realise they have to change their league at some point to develop.

"There are only two countries he could go to: England or Germany. I’d recommend him not to make too big a step. He’s intelligent enough to know he needs to go to a place where the coach gives him a chance."
